Begun as the "SuperTruck Series" in 1995, the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series has accelerated through the decade to become the hottest new racing scene on the NASCAR circuit. Chronicling the truck series history from its conception by innovator Jimmy Smith and NASCAR CEO/President Brian France to its current status as the next stop for veteran NEXTEL Cup drivers--like Bobby Hamilton, Ron Hornaday, Ricky Craven, and soon Mark Martin--and up-and-coming rookies, NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series details the style and vehicle specs that make truck racing unique and so popular with fans. The book features commentary from France, Smith, and drivers, with highlights of some of the series most significant races so far. Licensed by NASCAR.
